[IRCA] Cook Islands (Aitutaki) Ultralight TP's for 4-11... Yikes!



It was Exotic City on the Aitutaki beach this morning as 693-Bangladesh made a return appearance at an S9 level, along with Cambodian-sounding speech on 918 blasting Shandong around 1640. As if that wasn't enough 1431 had an S9 program in Korean at 1430 that could well have been Mongolia (if the Adventist Radio schedule concurs) while 1566 had Hindu-sounding speech dominating over HLAZ's Chinese at 1655.


Unfortunately the "Blue Sky" Internet system here in the Cook Islands is outrageously overpriced, squeezing every possible Kiwi dollar out of any tourist desiring to communicate in any way. There is no real competition for them here, and uploading about 4 MP3's will cost you around 20 Kiwi dollars. Somebody in Wellington needs to investigate the racket!


73 and Good DX,
